Luang Prabang Transportation: 67 reviews and 80 photos
Coming from the south (vientian and vang vieng basically) the cheapest way to get to Luang prabang is by bus. I heard it's definitely not comfortable: buses are overcrowded, slow, and the road is twisting and turning - when it's not washed away. Having heard many horror stories, through a travel agent I managed to organize a group and rent a mini-van - making the trip a lot more bearable. Still we had our rough patrches, like trying to navigate a river of mud while avoiding to fall down the ravine where the road had just vanished.
If you insist on taking the bus - buy your ticket in advance: buses are often full and there are only a handful of them a day
